Meet Our Ambassador
Noxolo Ntshangase
Introduction
My name is Noxolo Lesedi Mbali Ntshangase, and I am a 21-year-old quadriplegic (C6-C7 incomplete). I was not born with a disability — I sustained a spinal cord injury in a motor vehicle accident in 2020 while I was in Grade 10, preparing to move to Grade 11.
The journey since then has not been easy. I had to learn to adapt to a completely new way of living, both physically and emotionally, while continuing my education. Despite these challenges, I persevered and successfully completed my schooling.
I am currently studying my Higher Certificate in Law and further pursuing my LLB Degree in Law with the support of the Nthuse Foundation. This course serves as a stepping stone toward my dream of becoming a Lawyer, so that I can advocate for the rights and inclusion of people with disabilities in South Africa.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear ambassador, our heartfelt condolences and sympathies go out to her family. We are mourning the loss of a beautiful soul and may the memories of Noxolo fill your heart and help you find peace and understanding. Sending you love and support from the Nthuse Foundation Family.
